- In The Chair: Moss The Senate agreed to the title of the bill. Senator Klinefelt asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal. The motion prevailed. Senator Klinefelt’s statement is as follows: Today I have a package of bills called Melody’s Law up for consideration. These bills would amend the Michigan Penal Code to make necrophilia a criminal offense in Michigan, set sentencing guidelines, and amend the Sex Offenders Registration Act to include this offense. Melody Rohrer’s murder and subsequent assault on her body was the catalyst for this package. Her husband Rick Rohrer and the family worked tirelessly to get these bills passed into law. Melody was his soulmate and the light of his life. For Melody’s family, let’s ensure that this despicable act is reflected in the offender’s criminal record in the future. I ask that all my colleagues support this package.
